Movie Shout Outs - Favorite Dialogue Featured in a Film? - Responses
Sunday, February 7, 2010 at 4:00AM It's Sunday (Is there a game or something on today??)
It's also - Movie Shout Out Response Time! Yesterday's question was:
What is your favorite dialogue featured in a film?
We loved your responses. Most of them made us want to go back and re-watch the films. Check them out below:
Brick (2005) would be at the top for most original and interesting dialogue, but Tarantino has good dialogue in almost all of his movies as well.

Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989) and Reservoir Dogs (1992). Both are good examples are great dialogue, for me.

Not that it's probably as prominent, but I'd say The Big Lebowski's (1998) dialogue is pretty fantastic.

Brick (2005) has a whole handful of my favorite dialogs, one being between Brendan & Principal, and the dialog between Brendan & Laura, specifically at the end scene where we don't know what she whispered to him.

Many! Top ones:
"Things you own, end up owning you" - Fight Club (1999)
"I'll be back.." - T2 (1991) [I say this all the time :P]
"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies." - The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Rest are all from Hindi Movies :)

Haven't seen Melvin yet, cant quite discern what kind of dialogue it is but Brick (2005) & Juno (2007) come to mind with their stylized jargon.

I’m going with Pulp Fiction (1994). “Check out the big brain on Brad.”

I think I have to go with the classic here, "the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill o' beans in this crazy world..." Casablanca (1942). And not JUST to poke more fun at you for not having seen it, there are some fantastic moments in Phantom of the Paradise (1974):
"I know drug-real from real-real! Can't you feel the karma in your own house? Bad, sport. Real bad."

"Honey, I never drive faster than I can see and besides... it's all in the reflexes."

Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)

If we're talking Tarantino here how can one not mention True romance (1993)? And almost every Kevin Smith film, even the bad ones have exceptional dialogue driven scenes. The Death Star conversation in Clerks (1994) still entertains me every time and Chasing Amy (1997) is pretty much one great dialogue scene after another.

One of my faves from last year was 500 Days of Summer (2009). Very "dialoguey" and different. Also, Watchmen (2009) was great for that too (boyfriend said, less talking, more action) but I enjoyed the banter though most of it would have had to do with the source material I assume. Another one of my fave movies is Shaun of the Dead (2004), for the clever dialogue though it isn't as wordsy as some. :) Chasing Amy (1997) and pretty much all of the above I'd have to agree with too.

I've gotta vote for an oldie...What's Up Doc? (1972) While the acting may not be Oscar-worthy, the dialogue is rapid-fire and HI-larious.

All the dialogue in Chasing Amy (1997) is rad but I especially enjoy the part towards the end when Afflack (yeah, I said Afflack) is giving his threesome plea to Alyssa and Banky. good stuff.

Snatch (2000) is one of my faves. Some of the dialogue is just hilarious and brilliant. Dennis Farina has some great one-liners.

It's kind of a cop out, but Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (1990) has the best game of verbal tennis ever. Tom Stoppard is a bad ass!
